This article is based on a philosophical analysis of
moral language in academic journal articles that
concern child death cases. The analysis shows that
research of child protection is a value-committed
practice, and the language use reflects this in various
ways. Direct moral language is relatively rare, and
moral values are often implicitly referred to. Values
in social work research bear resemblance to moral
philosophical stances.
